According to the breaking news, the Dolphins are releasing Judon, who spent only one season in Miami, will have a chance to join a contender before the playoffs in a couple of weeks.

The veteran will now join a fifth team in his career as his time is winding down. The pass-rusher isn’t the same as he used to be, but he is a good option as a veteran presence.
